Chapter 171 Paper tigers!

Guo Nu could not respond to what Zhou Yi said because of lack of confidence, after all, he could not play in the game.

However, other Inter Milan players will not remain silent when facing Zhou Yi.

The team's main midfielder Sneider expressed his views on the game.

"The last game was really surprising, and we didn't expect it to be like that in the end. But it also sounded the alarm for us and stopped underestimating the enemy. Dortmund is a team with great strength and we will do our best."

What Sneider said sounds quite polite.

The words of central defender Lucio are not very nice: "West****? I've been there more than once, it's no big deal. Their advantage in home games is not as great as they imagined. As long as we don't underestimate the enemy, we can defeat them!"

Lucio has played for Leverkusen and Bayern Munich for many years and is very familiar with Dortmund. His attitude towards Dortmund will definitely not be much better, because when he played in the Bundesliga, Dortmund was his enemy, so he naturally would not be polite.

Before the game, the battle of verbalism between the two sides started. But what people didn't expect was that this battle of verbalism was played by Zhou Yi...

※※※

In the battle of mouth, Inter Milan came to Dortmund's home court, West**** Stadium.

While warming up before the game, Lucio heard booing at him. However, he had no feelings about it and was not surprised.

This is not the first time he has come to this stadium as an opponent.

The important thing is to play the game well.

Every Inter Milan player firmly believes that as long as they do not underestimate the opponent, even on the away game, they can defeat their opponents.

For this reason, they were fully prepared, how could the booing in the stands affect them?

So when Inter Milan lost the goal eighteen minutes into the game, they were a little unresponsive - what's going on?

"Oh oh! Sven Bend! This is his first Champions League goal this season! Bend is not the kind of player who is good at scoring, but facing such a good opportunity, it seems a bit unreasonable not to score!" Marcel Leif shouted. "Bortmond is now leading 1:0!"

Such a good opportunity was created by Zhou Yi. After he and other teammates attracted Inter Milan's defensive attention, they suddenly passed the football to Sven Bend, who was forward. When Bend got the ball on the penalty area line, he didn't even have a defender. As Marcel Leif said, how could such a good opportunity not score a goal?

So Sven Bend shot with a low shot without hesitation, and the football carried the turf and passed Cesar's fingers and flew into the goal...

The West**** Stadium shook, as if an earthquake was limited to here!

In sharp contrast to the cheerful Dortmund players, the stunned expression of Inter Milan players.

They never expected that their team would concede the goal in the first 18 minutes...

Didn’t it be agreed that you wouldn’t lose to them after not underestimating the enemy?

※※※

In the first half, Dortmund relied on this goal to lead Inter Milan at home.

Inter Milan has also tried to counterattack, but it has no way to break through the defense line composed of Hummels, Subotic, Piszczek and Schmelzer, let alone goalkeeper Langrak who threatened substitute Weidenfeller to play.

Until the end of the first half, they failed to score and could only return to the locker room with hatred.

Fifteen minutes later, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Inter Milan's performance in the second half also did not change much.

Their attack seems to be incomplete, and everyone relies more on simple routines and personal performance to attack.

"... When this Inter Milan encounters difficulties, their ability to deal with difficulties seems to have declined. What was impressive last season was that their home court at Barcelona was missing soon after the game. As a result, they united as one person to block Barcelona's offense, eventually eliminated their opponents and entered the Champions League final. Inter Milan seemed to be completely unafraid of any accidents. But now... when encountering a little difficulty, Inter Milan seemed to have no idea how to play..."

Marcel Leif commented.

He pointed out the problem with Inter Milan incisively.

In fact, it is ultimately because Inter Milan lacks the desire to win and the motivation to advance in adversity. This is all due to their successful last season. Of course, the lack of a head coach with a charismatic personality makes players unwilling to work hard for a coach like Benitez, which is also one of the important reasons.

But Inter Milan itself probably did not realize such a problem. The players still think they are the defending champion, they are very strong, and they are a strong contender for the Champions League this season.

Marcel Leif suddenly thought of what Zhou Yi said before the game, saying that Inter Milan would fall into a tough battle at home at Dortmund.

Now it seems that's true.

Inter Milan has fallen into a tough battle!

Moreover, it seems that Zhou Yi discovered the truth about Inter Milan's seemingly powerful appearance earlier than them...

Some people think that what Zhou Yi said before the game was a psychological warfare, but now it seems that he is just telling the truth. Unfortunately, the truth is hard to stop, and no one believes it...

In the 53rd minute, Benitez took the lead in making adjustments, replacing Montali with young Nigerian midfielder Obiora Nvankovo.

However, this substitution was questioned by the Italian commentator: "When we were behind, Inter Milan was right to make a substitution. But Benitez's adjustment made him completely unaware of it... He replaced another defensive midfielder with a defensive midfielder. What do he want to do?"

Don't say that the commentator was surprised, Montali, who was replaced, was very confused.

After the game, Montali didn't even shake hands with Benitez, so she walked back to the bench and sat down.

In fact, Envankovo ​​may not know why the head coach changed him to the court, although the head coach asked him to watch out for Zhou Yi after he came on the court.

But this does not solve the problem that the team is one goal behind now.

And... Zhou Yi is really not something that this young player can keep an eye on.

His range of activities was very large, so large that Envankovo ​​didn't know whether he should follow him or not.

In the 61st minute, just ten minutes after Benitez's substitution adjustment, Zhou Yi ran to the wing and instigated an offensive. He passed the football to Goze. Goze made a cross and followed Demark in the middle. He cleverly flashed between Lucio and Samuel, grabbed the point, and then headed the ball!

"2:0!! Mark Wagner!! His fourth goal in the Champions League this season! Dortmund leads Inter Milan 2:0 at home!"

"Oh, Zhou Yi is saying really well. This Inter Milan is a 'paper tiger'..." Yang Muge said in the group as Dortmund's players hugged each other to celebrate the goal.

"Damn, I really didn't expect Inter Milan to be so weak!" Sun Pan was also surprised.

"It's normal that there is no motivation after winning the championship. In addition, various internal strife," He Ying said.

Guo Nu didn't say anything. He also watched this game on TV in the apartment. Now he doesn't want to talk or know what to say.

This result was really beyond his expectations. He secretly saved so many talents for Inter Milan in the group, but now it seems that it has no effect at all...

Is Inter Milan really a...paper tiger?

※※※

The Italian commentator pointed the finger at Benitez: "I know why Espanyol replaced Envankovo. It's very simple, because Envankovo ​​was transferred from the youth team to the first team, and it was the 'director' he wanted to train. But unfortunately, the performance of the Nigerian young player did not give Benitez a favor! This ball was caused by his lack of focus on Zhou Yi!"

Poor Envankovo ​​became a victim of factional struggle within the team...

After Dortmund scored the second goal, Benitez made another substitution, replacing forward Biabiani with the organizational midfielder Coutinho. It was still in the midfield control.

Obviously, Benitez believes that although Inter Milan has midfield players like Sneider and Zanetti, they still cannot snatch control of the midfield from Dortmund...

He was not very satisfied with this.

In the 71st minute, he made another substitution, this time he replaced another striker Pandev with forward Milito.

Continue to strengthen the offensive.

At this time, Klopp did not replace Zhou Yi again, but chose to let Zhou Yi continue to play, because with him, Dortmund's midfield control was as stable as Mount Tai.

Klopp has experienced this in the previous few games. As long as Zhou Yi was replaced in advance, Dortmund's control will plummet.

Therefore, when the opponent launched a counterattack, Klopp did not let Zhou Yi go off the court, but instead kept him on the court.

Of course, Dortmund easily beat Mainz 2:0 away and won the first place in the league.

In this situation, of course, Klopp is even more unlikely to let Zhou Yi end.

Zhou Yi also knew how to play. After leading two balls, in order to ensure that he had enough physical strength until the end of the game, Zhou Yi rarely went forward. He used long passes to organize the attack in the midfielder position, and used medium and short-distance passes to schedule and control the rhythm.
